AC/DC has announced the first eight dates for their upcoming summer 2009 tour, kicking off at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA on July 28.

The band is continuing to tour to support their hit album Black Ice. Released last year, Black Ice was AC/DC's first album in eight years and debuted at #1 in 29 countries and has gone multi-platinum in 18 countries and platinum in another five. In addition to releasing their first new album in eight years, the band also offered up several tracks to gamers who have fallen into the Rock Band craze as well as bringing their No Bull concert film to Blu-ray. Black Ice and the Rock Band game packs are both being sold exclusively through Walmart.
